SSANOO ~
ing that Commissioner of the Land
Office Sparks had taken preliminary
steps to cancel the entries made OF 90
sections of land in what is known as
Goshen Hole in this county, stirs up a
good sized sensation here. The land
in question was taken up in the inter-
ests of the Goshen Hole Irrigation
Company, the President Of which is
Mr.. G. B. Goodell of this city and
Wyoming, and also one of the officers
of the Union Cattle Company of which
Mr.. Thomas Sturgis is President. The
entries were made by seven persons
living in Wyoming and 43 living in
New York, Massachusetts and New
Jersey. The action of the Land Com
missioner is based upon the reports Of
Special Agent Fry. Mr.. Sturgis in
dignantly denies the statements set
forth in this report and characterizes
the item as false. He states that
work was commenced on these
bitches in 1888, and has been steadily
executed since except in midwinter.
1t has actually been distributed ver
20 miles in length in mi ditch and Is
to Is in another and the expenditure
in the work of reclamation during the
past four years has been $250,000.
Several hundred acres of alfalfa are
growing upon the lands on which the
agent states bitches were not con-
structed to carry water and that the
late Secretary of the Interior was adj
vised of the proposed filing by for
eign " entrymen, as those outside of
the Territory were styled, and that
the scheme with all the details for the
full reclamation of this immense body
of lands had his full approval. Mr..
Sturgis also adds that the attack upon
himself and his company in the light
of the above circumstances is of per-
sonal and political persecution. The
present status of the entry allows the
entrymen another hearing before the
Cheyenne Land Office to show cause
why their entries shall not be can
celled and failing in this an appeal
lies to the Secretary of the Interior for
the final decision.
The knights and h Holy See.
New YORK, June pa special from
Philadelphia: 1t has been made
known by the prelate that the Holy
See has not decided to tolerate the
Knights of Labor. When Cardinal
Gibbons went to Rome, he found the
case Of the Knights of Labor had been
prejudiced by the McGlynn-George
movement which was taken as a dan
gerous symptom Of the effects of the
Knights teaching. By the utmost ex-
ertion and with the strenuous support
of Manning, Gibbons secured what
may be called a stay OF proceedings,
until Rome should have obtained the
full sense of the American Episcopate
on the question. AS it now stands,
there may be a friction between the
Knights and the Church, but all indi-
cations point to the unanimity of the
American Bishops in advising pru-
dence and a policy of non-interference
will not fail.
Accident I'm the Yellow Jacket.
VIRGINIA, June 29.-Joseph Kin
negar, lately welded to Miss Kate
Forgerty, while at work as station

level of the Yellow Jacket mine, had
his should fractured by being caught

He had signaled up the cage, and just
as it was ascending the shoot and near
the wall plate, he tried to catch a
tally board he had left on the plat
form of the cage. 1t caught him at
the shoulder joint of the ARM, and
held him there like a wise till relieved,
when he was speedily taken to his home
and all the doctors within reach were
summoned. They did everything in
their power for him, but beyond al
l~eviating his pain, were powerless, for

O'Clock last evening, a portion Of his
breast having been crushed in.
